The system provides two modes for adding or updating products:
1. Always Add New Products
Description: Every product in the data feed will be treated as a new product.
Behavior:
A new product entry will be created regardless of whether a product with the same SKU already exists.
This may result in duplicate products if SKUs are reused or already exist in the store.
Use Case: Best suited when importing a fresh batch of entirely new products or when SKU duplication is acceptable.
2. Add or Update Products Based on SKU
Description: Products will be added or updated by matching existing SKUs.
Behavior:
If a product with the same SKU already exists in the store, it will be updated with the latest data (price, inventory, title, etc.).
If the SKU does not exist, a new product will be created.
Use Case: Ideal for maintaining a clean catalog and avoiding duplicates by using SKUs as unique identifiers.
